Ex-NTV journalist Laban Cliff Onserio
The Anti-Terrorism Police Unit police want a suspect detained for being found with an explosive weapon without authority.
Mr Laban Cliff Onserio, a former journalist at the Nation Media Group, was arrested on Sunday at the Holy Family Basilica basement and arraigned before Kahawa Magistrate Court.
Mr Onserio had parked his car at the facility to attend the Solfest Music Festival at the KICC on Saturday night and only came to pick it up the next morning while visibly drunk.
Detectives say he was in possession of a stun grenade and threatened members of the public with an imminent attack against them while holding the said weapon.
When questioned, the suspect could neither give satisfactory reasons as to why he was in possession of the flash-bang grenade nor could he produce certification for the weapon.
According to the sleuths, preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect illegally acquired the weapon from a British national named ‘Don Smith’, who reportedly works with the Fly540 airline.

The officers are seeking to detain him for five more days to enable them to seek a search warrant as they believe he could be in possession of more grenades.
The detectives also want time to conduct a forensic examination of the gadgets before they charge him with the appropriate charges.
